  1. Just reading that 43% of UK universities are in deficit and that the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says this is why tuition fees need to be raised this autumn.

    Tuition fees were first introduced in Sept 1998 as part of the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998 which was enacted on 16 July 1998.

    Does a chart for this tell us where Tony Blair’s claim that this would lead to equality and that all could go to university has gone wrong. It’s gradually been heading back towards only those with rich parents willing to fund them through.

  2. US>UK trade deal. Hopefully we get some lovely grass fed meat and bison and at last some very good produce from somewhere. Great result.

    • Interesting chart … a mystic rectangle … moon at 4 libra opposite venus/neptune in Aries with trines/sextiles respectively to pluto 3aqua opposite mars 9Leo.

      • Yes, just had a look at that mystic rectangle with Moon in Libra, Mars in Leo, Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune Venus in Aries. Intriguing.

        • Saturn in Pisces on the North Node could also be seen as conjunct with Aries – Libra opposition. And I assume with Solar Arcs it will become conjunct in the next 3yrs for Neptune, 5yrs for Moon-Venus

          • GD, of course and Pope Francis passed under that conjunction too, so those degrees straddling late Pisces and early Aries are going to be of significance under this papacy too. There’s a Kite formation too, with those degrees I mentioned as the focal point of the Kite as well as a fair dollop of Cardinal energy with all thise planets in Aries. Seems very appropriate for the election of an important spiritual figure.

        • Astrodienst has it as approaching a conjunction with Uranus and separating from the square with Leo Mars. Admittedly 8-9 degree orbs for both

          • Yeah, I guess the majority of astrologers would allow for that conjunction to the Sun, but I kind of follow Hamaker, and she allows 8° for Sun and the Moon. If I remember correctly.

            Pluto in the 4th makes me think of turmoil and home, and it is as if I see money issues, with that Moon (the people) opposing mundane ruler of money, Venus, who is conjoining Neptune (vanishing). And we all know Vatican has this problem of filling the coffers.

          • On the other hand, Pluto is ruler 2, income. And it seems well-aspected? Trines and sextiles? Although both separating.

    • @El Aznar, and I missed this, because Italian media reported they’d only use the cimney after 19:30 CET vote….

      • So sorry! I guess I had a hunch. And then I watched those birds, and a couple of seagulls with their baby bird before the smoke… All looked so weird, but in a way beautiful, all pushed up a level by the beautiful Roman weather.

      • I wonder who will it be… If that Sun conjunction Uranus stands, that should point to someone unusual. Moon in Libra – balance? On the other hand.

        Before the last few days I would have said the cardinals have had enough of foreigners and were going to elect an Italian. Now I’m not so sure…

    • So it’s another First – the first American pope. Robert Prevost, 69 who will apparently carry on Pope Francis’s legacy.

  3. The semifinals of the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) have just begun this evening. Four teams–Minnesota, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa–are the contenders. Last year, the inaugural season, Minnesota won the Walter Cup by rising from the ashes, so to speak. Are there any indications in the city charts and one state chart as to which team might get it together and win this year’s Walter Cup? Thank you!

  4. Would you mind looking at the India-Pakistan relationship? Pakistan-Indian partition occurred under Uranus in Gemini in 1947 and much violence occurred in Kashmir in 1947-48. Wondering if the return of Uranus to Gemini this summer portends a major escalation in hostilities between these now nuclear armed countries.

    • If you put Kashmir in search you’ll find a previous post.

  5. While so many people are watching Trump and Republicans, could you do a chart on the Democratic party for the next few years. The spirit seems down, but I suspect the party is merely waiting for the right leader to come forward (someone who will be anti-billionaire establishment and can rally the people better than Trump can). Can Democrats rally and bring the country back to a semblance of sanity?

    • Hi. Second that. Would you please look at chart of Kat Abugazeleh? She’s running for Congress from IL. Young and media savvy. She made a name for herself as an influencer before. She’s an Aries, I believe. Thanks.

  6. Could you explain a bit about the Harmonic charts, what makes a “strong” one?
    Perhaps you could expand on your recent piece about David Attenborough and talk about what are strong indicators in his harmonic charts.

  7. Hi Marjorie!

    Carney is now the Canadian PM, Alberta thinking to separate from Canada (referendum possible) and maybe other provinces will follow.
    How Canada looks astrologically – separation is coming, possible? Thanks!

  8. Hi Majorie, I appreciate your astrological interpretation. Could you please take another look at Hollywood’s chart again?

    This is because Trump has recently announced new tariffs rate of 100% on movies that were ‘produced in foreign lands’, which can affect not just Hollywood’s film production, but also other film industries worldwide wide including Australia.

    Admittedly, I do want to know how the Australian creative sector is going to handle in the post-tariff mandate setting. Prior to the tariff, there were several fundings from state governments that were aimed to support the infrastructure of the film industry just to accomodate US film productions. It was a growing industry here and on a personal level; I get to witness that growth, as I witness several film productions setting up on my university this year. However, that growth comes into doubt now due to these tariffs. While this is situation is quite small on the grand scheme of things, if you have time can you look into Australia’s chart for our creative industries too?

      • @VF, I think he’s looking increasingly unwell. He moves poorly and his overall demeanor beneath all the orange makeup speaks of ill health, let alone the gibberish spewing from his mouth, apparently without any semblances of a filter. We know he’s addicted to Adderall but what else is he taking?

        • Both of my parents had/have a form of dementia and I recognise a lot of the body postures, muddled words, facial expressions as well as the attempts at masking. He gave a speech yesterday which made absolutely no sense at all. What I find baffling is the sanewashing by the media. Biden was constantly under their microscope vis a vis his cognitive health.

          • Hmm the media bear quite a lot of responsibility as do Biden’s aides for not pointing out his cognitive decline much much earlier. It seemed to have been obvious probably two years before.
            There is this irksome defensiveness in political discourse at the moment where admitting any flaw on the side which is supported is resisted mightily.

          • Indeed there are flaws on both sides, but it is Trump’s mental health which is of concern right now. Biden’s cognitive decline was visible just as Trump’s is, but the team behind him were at least competent and his term did not result in the chaos we are seeing today.

  9. Little followed sports, I know, but the talk of the town where I live and a near astrological anecdote: Ice hockey player for Dallas Star, Mikko Rantanen, scored three goals and served an assist at the third time of Game 7 of a Stanley Cup playoff against his former team Colorado Avalanche he begged not to be traded off from last year. I went to see his DOB, and sure enough, he is an October 29th 1996 Scorpio Sun conjunct Mercury. Talk about taking a revenge! Saturn, Uranus and Pluto of his cohort are also all lightened up by Neptune to Aries passage, which might have helped.

  10. What chart will be relevant to the incoming new pope: his election chart? Or his inauguration chart which will come a few days after election?

    • To build further on this question about the chart for the inauguration of the new Pope, how long will Mars and Pluto remain in orb in opposition for them to impact any new papal “reign”?
